We are one month away. I REPEAT: ONE MONTH AWAY!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!

It’s the final countdown and I feel like I might need to be reminded to take a deep breath every now and then. So if you see me, remind me! 😉 Thanks! 

Oy! So I’m going to be honest with you guys. This whole wedding planning thing can be an emotional roller coaster! There are so many highs and lows. One second I’m reflecting on how wonderful everything is, and the next I’m focusing on all the little things going wrong. Wah! So many feelings! Is this how I’m going to feel until the wedding gets here? 

One thing I’ve been struggling with lately is how to cope with friends/family who can’t be there at the wedding. As most of you know, I wear my heart on my sleeve. I know not everyone you invite to your wedding can come. I understand. Being the hot mess I am right now, it just makes me really sad. It’s hard when people you hoped/thought would be there can’t make it. I know things are out of my control, but it doesn’t make it feel any better. 

I have some special family members who can no longer make it. One of them is my nana. She’s 92 and I know traveling will be hard on her so I understand she can’t come. I’m just a hot mess and really wish teleportation were real! Ya know?! On top of that my best friend in GA cannot make it. It’s for an AMAZING reason, though. She’s having a baby a few days before the wedding! And that is such a miracle! While I’m bummed she won’t be there in person, I’m so excited to FaceTime her during our day and still have her family there in spirit. She’s going to be a great mom! 

I’m trying so hard not to be a Debbie Downer. I know that at the end of our big day, I’m marrying my best friend. We’ll start a new adventure together and we’ll get to celebrate with so many of our close friends and family. I should focus on the positives and know that those who can’t be there will be there in spirit. I just love everyone! haha. 

How did you guys deal with this? What made you not be sad and feel better? haha.

Ok, enough pity party! I have so much to be excited about. WE have so much to be excited about. And thankful for!  

Gah! Can you believe we are one month away?! AAHHH!!! Rain or shine, 200 guests or 20 guests, drama or no drama, I get to marry my best friend. I get to spend the rest of my life with the man God picked out just for me. We get to experience this crazy adventure together and I can’t wait! 

Thanks for listening to my crazy, you guys! 🙂
